So how the hell am I supposed to remove the nut that holds the stator hub on? I slid a 28mm socket over it and hit it with my Impact Wrench and it didnt even budge.... Hmmm.... how am I supposed to replace my stator if I cant get the damn thing off? lol | ||

You need the TOOL to hold the motorsprocket/clutch sprocket from moving ... PM me and "i" will send you the SPECIFICATIONS and you can make one, PLUS additional "INFO" ... DO NOT USE A "IMPACT WRENCH" AS IT WILL DAMAGE THE STATOR !!! | ||

Impact wrench + Stator = detached magnets | ||

yes I figured as much, I only popped it once or twice to see if it would break loose. I just couldnt get the damn thing off with a breaker bar. Thanks For the Emails Laf. | ||

 That's my special tool...I locked it in place and used an impact. Your mileage may vary Try a heat gun and breaker bar and use the correct socket (non metric) and 6 point if you can. | ||

Also, it's reverse thread and on there with about 200ft-lb. | ||

NO, the stator is standard thread! The clutch nut is reverse thread. | ||
| Foximus |
well i got it off... 6 foot breaker bar.... sitting on it... now for the clutch basket. | ||

Clutch will come off easier. The crank nut is red loctited (sp?) on there. | ||

huraa... finished lathing my spacer, and have the tripple tree setup finally pressed together... xb setup is nice. Now just to figure out how to mount my HID headlamps. | ||
| Foximus |
Well.... guess i found the problem why the stator went out. It chewed up a magnet. Soooo.... where the hell can I find a cheap used magnet rotor for cheap and asap? LoL. | ||

there is a reason why the xb is a little different. I think its a tad deeper. I remember the guy who did the write up with the 38amp stator swap saying why he used the OEM instead of xb rotor. And i dont know how you found that first one... i looked on ebay for a good 2 hours last night and only found the big twin rotors. Though for that price I might as well buy a new one. They are $120. | ||

For any who would use R850's hinge trick, please make sure the hinge is truly BRASS, not brass-plated steel. The softer brass will not harm the teeth as a hard steel plate could. Fabbing one up, per Buellistic, out of aluminum works as well. Stick with the softer metals. | ||

+1 on the bar stock aluminum. Cheap enough, and readily available at home depot or lowes. | ||

I've used a cut-down electric edger blade for my locking tool. I've used it three times now and I don't have any marks or any other damage I can see. I wouldn't hesitate to use it again. Maybe if I used that in conjunction with an impact wrench it might lead to damage but I don't do that. My local home depots/Lowe's/other never had any bar stock aluminum. They all have the electric edger blades. They all have door hinges too. | ||

So... whos got a spare rotor for me!? =D | ||
| Foximus |
Meh... re read the old post. its the actual xb stator thats different. Not the Rotor. I put a bid in for that XB rotor. Hope it doesn't get bid up... I just need to get my bike running before I do my diesel swap into my El camino next week. | ||

I am pretty sure those teeth are a lot harder steel than any old hinge. I use aluminum square tube stock, but I really doubt you will damage the teeth with a steel hinge. |
